This book gathers contributions written by Daniel Alpay’s friends and collaborators. Several of the papers were presented at the International Conference on Complex Analysis and Operator Theory held in honor of Professor Alpay’s 60th birthday at Chapman University in November 2016. The main topics covered are complex analysis, operator theory and other areas of mathematics close to Alpay’s primary research interests.

The book is recommended for mathematicians from the graduate level on, working in various areas of mathematical analysis, operator theory, infinite dimensional analysis, linear systems, and stochastic processes.

Illustrates recent developments in several directions of (hyper)complex analysis, operator theory, and infinite dimensional analysis Presents new perspectives and current trends for researchers interested in the aforementioned topics Contains contributions written by leading experts
